Now this is killer: HTC has unveiled the HD2, a Windows Mobile 6.5-powered smartphone that’s just 0.4-inches thick. That’s despite its enormous 4.3-inch, 480-by-800-pixel capacitive touch display and next-generation 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile CPU. (That display is almost an inch bigger than the iPhone’s 3.5-inch panel.)

The HTC HD2 will be the first Windows Mobile smartphone to feature multi-touch. HTC also outfitted the HD2 with HTC Sense, the company’s less-radical, alternative interface to TouchFLO 3D that made its debut on the Android-powered HTC Hero. Whatever interface it has, that processor should make Windows Mobile 6.5 fly.

Like other Windows Mobile 6.5 handsets, the HD2 will also let users browse, buy, and download new apps from Windows Marketplace for Mobile. The device includes a 5-megapixel camera, a proximity sensor that prevents false screen touches when on calls, and an optional car kit for better in-car GPS navigation.

The HD2 will land later this month on several carriers across Europe, before “rolling out to other regions in the coming months.” Here’s hoping.
